Body Sculptra® in Puerto Banús, Marbella
Body Sculptra® uses a collagen stimulator to work on the firmness and texture of the skin over larger areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs or arms. It all starts with a consultation: the doctor assesses the area and tells you whether the treatment makes sense for you.
What does it involve?
Sculptra® is a biostimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid. Injected into the skin, it gradually encourages natural collagen production, which is why the change does not show straight away but is assessed over time.
It is mainly considered when the skin has lost firmness over the years, or after significant weight loss, a pregnancy or liposuction. The number of sessions and the amount of product are decided in consultation, and the response varies from person to person.

How it goes
Consultation
We examine your skin and talk about what you want. The doctor explains which treatment may suit you and how many sessions to plan, or tells you if now is not the time.
Preparation
We cleanse and disinfect the skin. Depending on the treatment, we first apply a topical anaesthetic cream for your comfort.
Treatment
The doctor makes the injections with a fine needle in the areas agreed with you.
Afterwards
Redness, slight swelling or a small bruise may appear, usually fading within a few days. We give you written aftercare instructions and, if there are several sessions, agree the schedule with you.
Good to know
The doctor assesses in consultation whether the treatment is right for you. As a rule it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, nor if there is an active infection or inflammation in the area. Please tell us about your allergies, your medication, especially anticoagulants, and your previous treatments. Changes in the skin are assessed over the weeks and vary from person to person.
Your questions
Is it for weight loss or cellulite?
It is not a weight-loss treatment. Its aim is skin firmness and quality. The doctor explains in consultation what you can expect in your case.
When do the changes show?
The effect is gradual, because it depends on the collagen your own skin produces. The doctor arranges a follow-up to review progress with you.
How many sessions are needed?
It depends on the area and your skin. The doctor tells you in consultation, and we confirm the plan and the quote in writing before we start.
What can happen afterwards?
As a rule you can return to your usual activities the same day. Redness, slight swelling or a small bruise may appear at the injection points, usually fading within a few days. We give you written aftercare instructions.
